Do-S, a Demon-level monster of the Monster Association—although her strength was inferior to those Dragon-level monsters who were Monster Association executives, she could still be called a core force of the Monster Association.
From her outward appearance, Do-S was just a woman wearing underwear composed of a few leather straps, but in reality she possessed mental control abilities.
She had a whip in her hand. Anyone struck by her whip would have their consciousness invaded, turning them into her slave, able to be used only by her—sounded like a pretty strong ability.
However, this control ability also had limits. In the original work, Fubuki once relied on willpower to withstand Do-S's brainwashing ability, and it was completely ineffective against the sufficiently powerful hero "Sweet Mask."
Whether Sweet Mask could nullify Do-S's brainwashing ability because his strength was sufficient, or because he had the ability to change his body structure, was already unknowable—anyway, Qin Chuan had both of these abilities.
Very quickly, under Psykos's summons, Do-S arrived in the room—of course, what greeted her wouldn't be Psykos's true body, but Gyoro Gyoro sitting in the seat.
And Qin Chuan stood not far from Gyoro Gyoro's side. Because compared to Gyoro Gyoro's enormous body he seemed somewhat small, Do-S didn't even notice Qin Chuan at first.
"What business do you have calling me here? Gyoro Gyoro?"
Do-S looked at Gyoro Gyoro's bloated body and asked indifferently, her tone sounding very casual, as if she didn't really take Gyoro Gyoro, this Monster Association leader, very seriously.
After all, Gyoro Gyoro's appearance truly didn't look like any impressive character, and Gyoro Gyoro had never claimed to be a Dragon-level monster, so being looked down upon was quite normal.
Psykos, hidden behind Gyoro Gyoro, naturally wouldn't get angry because of the other party's attitude. She spoke to Do-S using Gyoro Gyoro's body:
"Do-S, have you ever thought about improving your own strength?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Gyoro Gyoro's words, Do-S unsurprisingly furrowed her brow, and her expression also became somewhat guarded.
"You're not trying to use me for some experiment, are you?"
Of course she wouldn't trust Gyoro Gyoro's words so easily—don't look at how she joined the Monster Association, what she valued was just the Monster Association's resources.
If the Monster Association wanted to use her for some experiment, she would be the first to run away—monsters were just like this. They couldn't possibly follow so-called "rules" like heroes did.
"Heh... you can listen to what I have to say before deciding."
Do-S's reaction was also within Psykos's expectations, so she continued speaking using Gyoro Gyoro's body.
"You should know about Homeless Emperor, right? One of our Monster Association's executives... don't you want to possess the same power as him?"
"...Homeless Emperor's power?"
Although she had already prepared her refusal in her heart, when she heard Gyoro Gyoro mention Homeless Emperor, Do-S's heart still couldn't help but jump.
Homeless Emperor wasn't any person of noble character. After gaining power, he had demonstrated his "Divine Power" at the Monster Association more than once. That terrifying destructive force—Do-S had also witnessed it.
Regarding Homeless Emperor's so-called talk about contacting "God" and receiving "God's" favor, Do-S initially didn't believe it much either, but now it seemed...
"That's right, just as you're thinking. Homeless Emperor obtained that kind of power after contacting 'God.'"
Psykos saw through the thoughts contained in Do-S's expression through Gyoro Gyoro's single eye, and her tone also carried a hint of a smile.
"Now you also have this opportunity—as long as you place your hand on this black box and pray to God, you can obtain the same 'Divine Power' as Homeless Emperor."
As she spoke, Qin Chuan on the side also walked over—at first glance, it seemed as if Qin Chuan was just Gyoro Gyoro's assistant. Do-S also hadn't noticed that Qin Chuan was actually the one in charge here.
And after Qin Chuan walked in front of Do-S, he also didn't speak, just casually handed out the black cube in his hand.
Looking at the black cube in Qin Chuan's hand, Do-S also couldn't help but swallow, raising her head to look at Gyoro Gyoro, her tone somewhat hesitant:
"What you're saying is true? This thing can really let me obtain the same power as Homeless Emperor?"
After all, she might be used as a guinea pig. Do-S naturally still had to ask a couple more questions to put her mind at ease—even though her heart had actually made the decision in an instant.
"If you don't want it, you can turn around and leave now. We'll select someone else."
Gyoro Gyoro's voice was full of tempting meaning, yet faintly revealed a hint of impatience, as if if Do-S delayed any longer, it really would drive her away.
Hearing Gyoro Gyoro's somewhat impatient-sounding voice, Do-S also froze, then hurriedly reached out her hand, grasping the black cube Qin Chuan handed over, and spoke:
"I... I of course want it! I want the same power as Homeless Emperor!"
The instant Do-S grabbed the black cube, Qin Chuan smiled—sure enough, monsters were fundamentally beings that excessively pursued strength. With such a power to become stronger placed before them, it was impossible not to take the bait.
And Do-S hadn't noticed Qin Chuan's smile. The moment she grabbed the black cube and shouted that she wanted power, Do-S felt her body sink into a pitch-black darkness.
In the darkness, it was as if some giant thing was staring at her—before Do-S could think much more, a sinister voice rang out beside her ear:
"Then, I bestow power upon you..."
The next moment, Do-S's body suddenly tensed up, and an invisible aura spread out from her body. Even without using any detection equipment, the change was obvious.
"This is...!?"
Gyoro Gyoro was also shocked. That face with only one large eye also showed a very human-like shocked expression.
And Qin Chuan slightly narrowed his eyes. In his perception, Do-S's "qi" was rapidly rising. In just an instant, it had crossed several levels, reaching a jaw-dropping realm.
Of course, this jaw-dropping was calculated by One Punch Man standards. If placed within Dragon Ball standards, it was still far off.
"This... this is 'Divine Power'!"
Do-S's tone also became excited. She also felt the power filling her body, and instantly understood how to use this power.
Gyoro Gyoro hadn't lied. This was indeed the same power as Homeless Emperor. Different from her previous power that could only control slaves, this was power that Do-S could truly control herself in the real sense.
Having gained new power, Do-S raised her head, about to say something, when she was interrupted by Qin Chuan beside her:
"Alright, don't get excited yet. Sit down."
"Hah!? Who the hell are you..."
Hearing Qin Chuan's command, Do-S, who had just gained power and was somewhat inflated, almost reflexively opened her mouth wanting to retort.
However, before she finished speaking, her body moved on its own. With a "plop" sound, she obediently sat down on the ground.
